My biggest pet peves of both neovim and vim8 is that there are like 5 different (and complicated) ways to get plugins, none of which are compatible with the other.

Compare this to VSCode, Atom or IntelliJ.

There are always 5 different ways to do everything. For what it's worth, I've gone with the simple vim.plug. I don't worry about whether it's compatible with any other way of installing plugins. I just add a single line to my vimrc file per plugin and type :PlugInstall.

Is it easy to update the plugins as well?

[mklein994]

Yeah:

  :PlugUpdate

See https://github.com/junegunn/vim-plug

EDIT: formatting

There are too many options, I agree. But vim-plug is ultra easy. In my opinion, it should be the recommended package manager.

Pathogen is very simple, imho.

I second this. Pathogen is beyond simple... Just `git clone`

or even Emacs.
